Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of Carbene Complexesof the Imidazole, Benzimidazole and 1,2,4-Triazole Series

New carbene complexes of copper (I), silver and palladium, including ionic carbene-phenanthroline complexes, were synthesized on the basis of imidazole, benzimidazole, 1,2,4-triazole systems with cetyl and aryl including fluorophenyl substituents. The study of the antimicrobial action of the synthesized compounds revealed high antibacterial and antifungal activities of fluoro- and phenanthroline-containing carbene complexes.
